The Four Noble Truths - The Buddhist Path to Inner Peace

An introduction to Buddhist meditation and its application to our daily life. Based on Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s most recent book, How to Solve our Human Problems.

When we experience problems and setbacks we usually respond by feeling unhappy and developing painful minds of anger, depression and discouragement. As a result, we complicate our lives even more, our relationships become strained and our minds are filled with pain and agitation. Buddha’s teaching on the Four Noble Truths shows us how to break free from this cycle of unhappiness and to develop within our minds the path to the permanent freedom and happiness of enlightenment. In particular, by learning to overcome our anger and uncontrolled desire we will gradually solve all of our daily problems and we’ll start to feel more happy and productive in our lives.
